#MarsAnnouncement: Twitter Reacts Hilariously to NASA's Revelation of Water Existing on Mars
ByNASA revealed some compelling evidence that liquid water currently exists on Mars on Monday, and Twitter reacted just how you would have wanted it to.
"#MarsAnnouncement" was among the top trending topics on Twitter in the United States, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, "NASA" was trending in the United Kingdom and Japan, and "Marte," the Spanish word for Mars, was trending in Mexico, Spain, Portugal, and several other European countries.

I’m trying to get excited by the discovery of water on Mars. I wish they found it in California.

Water found on Mars. Perfectly timed with the release of the Matt Damon movie The Martian this weekend. That is some serious marketing.
